Gorgeousness (and sometimes SCARY to leave space for the unknown). I think it's in Japan that there's a tradition of never filling drawers, shelves etc completely because they're actively inviting in more of the unknown. I love to aim for this (and often fill them completely). Sending enormous love to you on this emotional and practical journey (heart emoji but on laptop so can't)

I've really been enjoying this series, thank you. I've moved countries once and moved house eight times in the last ten years and it really changed my relationship to 'stuff'. I now find it easier to travel lighter and with less attachment. I'm always amazed how quickly you can strip a space of everything that made it 'yours' or 'home' and how impermanent everything really is. I'm in awe of you throwing out your notebooks... I still carry mine through all the moves, so it's given me food for thought!
